#yemen group chat

[whimsicallywiddershins]

I'm a low level county government employee, and I have two seperate phones and computers, one for personal, one for work. I do not mix up the too. It was made very clear to me that if I ever used my personal phone for work stuff, my phone could be taken by my employer and searched for anything related to work.

My boss told me to be careful how I word emails, reports and general written communication because everything written down was saved, and the public could request to see it, so anything I wrote could be heavily scrutinized.

These are all things that were made very clear to me as an entry-level county employee. How the highest level of our government can get away with what they did is mind blowing to me.

GOOD FUCKING LORD. WHAT?

ok but what are the odds that a journalist from a prestigious well-known liberal news outlet was added to that chat. Like how many other random people were added to other various war group chats before this. Was Jessica the accountant from long island added to a war group chat? Was sixteen year old high school JV lacrosse player Brayden added to a war group chat???

“But, her emails!”

[dynamicity-keysmash]

The way I truly have nothing to say about the fact that a journalist from The Atlantic was accidentally added to a top-secret war-planning group chat on an unsecured texting app run by the same people who brought you "but her emails." I'm so fucking tired.

Signalgate is only about the bizarre group chat that we know about. There very well could have been more. 👻😜😱🤯😶‍🌫️

The vid above wasn't the only reference on Saturday Night Live. It got covered on Weekend Update.

I love how I get insta blocked by some edgelord socialism cosplayer blog for pointing out that the group chat leak is something we should leverage to get even a fraction of people on our side lmao

"oh the fact the group chat is about a bombing means we morally shouldnt—" yes the bombing fucking sucks and you can think both suck and still strike the anvil while its hot.

national security is a big deal to all but the koolaid drinkers and gentlely going "hey maybe dont vote conservative in 2026 bc this party is a national security risk" is going to do more good overall than idk reading socialist theory to them?

Apparently its controversial to want to ease people into our side by showing their side does not care about them because in tumblr land everything is black and white

anyways shoutout to @technofeudalism or whatever the fuck their tag is, hope you firebomb plenty of walmarts while a good pressing issue slowly gets sweeped under the rug since you didnt want to capitalize on it. Touch grass.

Mindblowingly stupid, as we should expect from the Trump administration

This is possibly the most insane national security story in the last 50 years. Includes a massive text chain between senior members of the Trump admin gaming out foreign policy and war plans on Signal, and they accidentally added a reporter to the group chat.

There's a much bigger scandal than Waltz's alleged carelessness, however. The U.S. has been involved in Yemen against the will of Congress for years, and President Donald Trump reopened a dormant war without any kind of public deliberation. The messages that Goldberg chose to publish reveal that the timing was driven by hawks' desire to sell the war—and go over Congress' head—rather than any urgent threat to American lives.

"There was no emergency. The executive branch unlawfully sidestepped Congress, taking military action that top officials admit was elective. The discussion establishes unequivocally that the strikes in Yemen are unconstitutional," former Michigan Libertarian Rep. Justin Amash wrote on X.

In other words, the scandal of the group chat was not that too many people knew about the war plans before they were carried out. It was that not enough people knew, because the administration deliberately tried to prevent a public debate from breaking out, as other officials revealed when Vance called for one.

“The last place I would want to be right now is a Houthi in Yemen!”

Pete Hegseth, hijacking questions about Signalgate to froth at the mouth over killing Houthis (and also a handful of young children) which he appears to believe are locations, not people

For anyone who hasn't been up to date on the clown show that is the American news, I'll give a quick recap because oh boy.

So Jeffrey Goldberg is the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. One day, he gets a notification on his phone from the messaging app "Signal". He sees that he's been added to a group chat called "Houthi PC small group". He thinks nothing of it at first, until a couple days later he sees on the news that the U.S. is bombing Yemen. He takes a look and sees that he has been added to a group chat by the National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.

Plenty of government officials including vice president JD Vance were in this conversation, and they were discussing their bombing on Yemen. And Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, was added by mistake.

So Goldberg approached the White House, who confirmed that he had been accidentally added to the chat. He then posted part of the conversation in a news story on the front page of his news website, omitting any classified information as to not get arrested for that level of security breach.

The response from the administration has been wild. They're all smearing the journalist, obviously, but their responses at first varied from "he made it all up" to "he must've hacked is way in" to "big deal, people add people to group chats on accident all the time". Eventually, they were put in front of Congress to testify under oath, where they said that nothing in the conversation was classified information like military hours or types of weapons used.

In response, Goldberg said "Oh, so it's not classified? Okay then! That means I can do this," and then he released the full unedited conversation. The conversation was nothing but classified information like military hours and the types of weapons used.

Not only are they communicating on private phones on third party apps as a way to circumvent the Presidential Records Act (the chat was interestingly set to auto-delete messages after 4 weeks), but it really kinda highlights the incompetence of America's leadership right now.

They're not going to win.

What it looks like with the groupchat.

God, these people really are fools.
